Engelland Trades Sports With NASCAR Driver Kurt Busch

From the outside, hockey and NASCAR appear to be completely different-because they are. But when Golden Knights defenseman Deryk Engelland and NASCAR champion Kurt Busch traded places for a day, they saw similarities in the two completely separate sports.

Busch, Engelland, and AT&T SportsNet Analyst Shane Hnidy took to the ice at City National Arena Monday morning to give Busch a crash-course on being a hockey player. Just before they hit the ice, Busch said he felt confident despite having skated only four or five times prior, though he worried he wouldn’t look as graceful as his new linemates.
